CW: Please be aware that at the beginning of this episode I discuss opinions on standing with Roe v. Wade. Although this is a fashion podcast, it's my belief that a platform should always be used to discuss crucial issues at hand. If abortion is triggering for you, please skip to 6:15 to avoid this topic (or just join again for the next episode!).
After sharing resources, this episode gets back to fashion issues, discussing my Met Gala favorites from this past Monday (for some much-needed lightness in the week), and also the importance of recognizing and supporting the unionization of Cond茅 Nast workers. (also, please forgive the few small editing issues - I need to figure out why things keep disappearing!)

In this week's Fash-Ed episode, we start out with the ethical and environmental dilemma between real leather and typical faux leather alternatives. Then, we talk about the exciting new MYLO mushroom leather material created in collaboration with Bolt Threads that's providing hope for a more eco-friendly and less damaging leather future. This week's small business feature is Life Lovers Magazine.
note there is a bit of background noise at the beginning of this episode, but I couldn't bring myself to record a 4th time and my pup really wanted to be part of this episode!
